King's coronation procession expected to include George, Charlotte and Louis

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children are all expected to take part in the procession from Westminster Abbey which will follow the King’s Coronation on May 6.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are likely to accompany the King and Queen Consort as they leave the Abbey after the service, the Times reported. The children are expected to join their parents in a carriage behind Charles and Camilla who will travel in the Golden State Coach as they return to Buckingham Palace.

George will be nine and Louis five, while Charlotte will turn eight just four days before the coronation. George, who is second in line to the throne, and Charlotte attended their great grandmother the Queen’s state funeral at Westminster Abbey in September.

Prince Louis was not present and is thought to have been considered too young to attend the service with his parents William and Kate.

The royal children delighted crowds when they showcased their royal waves as they celebrated their great-grandmother the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year. They made an appearance on the palace balcony for the flypast which prompted some comical reactions from Louis who held his hands over his ears, probably due to the roar of the aircraft overhead.

Louis also shared a sweet moment with his grandpa when he sat on Charles’ lap during the Jubilee Pageant as the parade passed by the royal box on the final day of the celebrations.

The Times reported that current Coronation rehearsal plans do not suggest the Duke and Duchess of Sussex or the Duke of York are expected to take part in the procession.
